Mediterranean Blue

 
Very possibly the most famous person in Spain today, Beckham is a walking media phenomenon: his (or rather their) arrival in Madrid has been the soccer event of 2003, with much more repercussion than a mere Liga or Copa, and easily eclipsing trivialities like the firing of Vicente del Bosque. Personally, I think anyone who pays 100 euros for an imitation Real Madrid shirt needs medical help, but Beckham is a money magnet, and tens of thousands of number-23s were sold on the day it was announced that that would be his number in the team.

David Beckham

1David Beckham
Sweet (in the sense of juicy) Java-based fansite with a nice ice-blue colour scheme. The categories under "Information" speak volumes about the preoccupations of Beckham followers (Beckhamites? Beckies? Becksophiles?), viz.:
Biography
Hair style
Tattoos
Awards

AskMen - David Beckham
One of the most incisively written publications on the Net (oh, all right, their "99 Most Desirable Women" slot has its appeal as well) defines Becksy to perfection: "pop star in a soccer uniform."

BeatBeckham.com
An entertaining Flash game with a lovely design, but its only real connection with D.B. is the name.

Beckham en español
A Spanish fansite, predating Becksy's move to Real Madrid.

Beckham Magazine
The "Online David Beckham FanZine" should be your source for all things Becks. It is completely irrelevant that it is apparently from Singapore, a place I have never been to but which I admire greatly for making chewing gum illegal.

The Beckham Trail
This is a gorgeous, priceless idea, from Waltham Forest Borough Council's website, and presented with a deliciously straight face: a route following Becks' early life, from his maternity unit to the parks where he played (needless to say, "perfecting his now legendary free kick"), the schools he went to and even the greyhound stadium where he worked as a glass collector. In the interests of maintaining suspense, I shall let readers find out for themselves exactly where he attended cub camp.

Beckhamania.com
The name is a bit misleading (and I am not sure how legitimate it is), as this is really wsoccer.com's Beckham page in a frame.

Beckham Heaven
Or Jenny's Beckham Bonanza! With photos! And bright colours! And asterisks!!

Becks - the Yahoo Group
If you cannot let a day go by without news of your object of cult, this group has an average of well over 300 messages a month.

Becksy
A fansite not updated since 2000, but with plenty of photos.

David Beckham
This fansite describes the object of its adulation as "the World's number one crosser," which sounds frankly kinky to me.

David Beckham: the Finest
And a fine fansite, with well written articles and other content.

Paul's World - Beckham
An extremely well made site with news, fixtures, statistics, and, of course, a gallery, including, I suspect, more copyright infringements than you could shake an injunction at. All the web pages and sites on this page are guilty in this way, but I do not think a fansite should be judged in the same way as a commercial one, and if I am singling out this site to accuse, it is precisely because its ambitions, at least, are professional.

The World of David Beckham
One of the better fansites, though not updated since July 2002.

Victoria Beckham (née Adams)

Ask Men - Victoria Beckham
Yes! (punching air). One of the most incisively written... (etc., see above) opines thusly "Victoria Beckham lets her sexuality seep through her clothes, or lack thereof, and gives men everywhere reason to stop and stare." Now that's what I call prose.

Fulcrum 2000's Victoria Beckham Site
From a "web-site design and Mail Order Products" company, this is the place to come if you are seeking a little visual titillation: Mrs Becks as sex object. Fine by me, though I was always more of a Geri Halliwell admirer, myself (just don't expect me to listen to either of them).

Real Thing
A strange fansite for Vicky, not updated since 1999, for collectors of Internet oddities.

Victoria Beckham
This claims to be the official site, but was totally contentless when I last looked.

Victoria Beckham - in All Her Glory
Is that a flattering name? It evokes images of battleships to me. A good fansite, though, if what you are looking for is all things Posh.

Victoria's Palace
Quite an engaging fansite, from Mrs Becks' Spicey days. The name sounds like a lingerie shop, though.

 

 

Hotels
Hotel Club
This booking service covers a very wide range of places in both Spain and Portugal.

Venere.com
An on-line booking service with great discounts.

Car Hire
Auto Europe
Car rental, motor homes, minibuses... And an interesting short-term lease option.
